Abstract

See full text

A composite patterning device includes a stiff first layer having a Young's modulus in a first range, a flexible second layer having a Young's modulus in a second range, a fluidic layer interposed between the first and second layers and having a Young's modulus in a variable range, and a relief pattern in the second layer. The device can be used for establishing conformal contact between the relief pattern in the second layer and a contact surface of a host substrate with attached elements. Then, a magnetic field is applied to the device so as to increase the Young's modulus of the fluidic layer to be similar to that of second layer after which a force is applied to the contact surface so as to release and remove the elements from the host substrate by withdrawing the device.
